Don't be upset. Sometimes it takes awhile to get to the right dept. I had a hissy for for this very thing and come to find out the fax is not processed right away.

Hi everybody!!! My surgery went good today!!! They did the RNY and repaired my Hiatal Hernia. When I first woke up from surgery I was in a lot of pain but they immediately start giving me more pain medicine and was also hooked up to a pain pump. The pain got tolerable after that. The pain is mainly on my left side. My stomach muscles are so sore. But I can actually say it's all tolerable and not as bad as I thought. The worst part so far was when I first woke up and for about an hour after that. My mouth has been SOOOO dry!!! They let me have some ice chips and I also use a wet wash cloth to help. I haven't gone for a walk yet but I have been sitting on the edge of the bed and standing up a little bit. Rolling in bed was really tough. I hope all my surgery buddies are doing good too!!!!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
